Cloning and Analyzing a New PEBP Like Protein Gene in Human Fibroblast Cell Infected by HSV I
Abstract: In our study on the gene response to virus infection,a colony of 705bp—HSP一714 was se— lected from the cell specific cDNA library induced by HSVI infection.The gene sequence analysis re· vealed that it was a new complete gene sequence(Gene Bank Accession number~AF372624)with a complete ORF encoding 126 amino acids.The biological informatics aiualysis demonstrated that this pmtein contained a phosphatidylethanolamine—binding protein(PEBP)like domain,which had a high homology to the CEN—like family of plant and mam malian ete.genome.Furthermore,the evolution tree demonstrates that this gene shows more homologous to CEN—like family Of plant Therefore.it can be predicted that this gene might be a new member of human PEBP—like family with special significance
